Any idea if there's a pre-season training camp? I know/think there was one year it was down in Limerick and then Brittas last year. Thanks in advance.

[Roo69]

They started last Saturday out in St. Laurances school in Loughlinstown, don't think they have any trips away planned?

[tippex]

was that not the planned away trip considering how tight things are in the league ;)

Hi lads,

When does the season officially start down here? I've never been to any LOI games and Bray are my closest club, so I was looking to fill my friday nights!

Also, this place is kinda quiet, have you got some other secret forum elsewhere?

Most importantly: can you get beer at your ground? :D

[Stevo Da Gull]

I think the season starts on the first or second weekend of march. There is no secret forum and no beer on sale or allowed into the ground. But don't be put off by that, there will still be a good atmosphere in the ground (eh, sometimes), and plenty of drink to be had afterwards.. and before hand if you want :D

Anyhow, you'll be very welcome to spend your Friday nights at Bray's historic sporting venue :cool:

A tenner for a friendly? Is that the normal price?!

[Roo69]

League, FAI Ford Cup and League Cup games are €15.00 for adults, Pre Season games are a fiver cheaper. Good value and can't bleedin wait to get back oyut watching footie in the Carlisle :D

If your not going to them all i'd pick the games against the 2 Rovers as the ones to watch. We are also sorting out a game against Bohs which has yet to be finalised so maybe that one too.

Are they ?

All previous season i don't think season tickets have covered pre season games, just double check with the club on this.

Well, as quoted on the club website: 2010 Bray Wanderers season tickets are valid for the above games.

Think I'll take in the game next saturday. The pub near the ground, I assume it's not dodgy or anything, and I won't get the stares when people hear my hot northern accent?

Not at all, the Hibo is a Wanderers pub, they advertise with us and the club go down after all games for sambos, tea, pints etc, you'll be fine :) Nice little pub with a grand aul pint.

We all did ;) but the great man has come back for one last season (unless he keeps going past next season) Great for the young lads to have someone so experienced around the squad

good news for ye so.. I am surprised Daire Doyle is staying with ye.. I thought he was being tipped to move on so?

[Bray Head]

3-1 to Dundalk who looked much stronger. Bray had a few new faces who are probably on trial.

[Dillonman]

Lineups and all for ye:
